Mad Wednesdays

This surreal and irreverent musical follows Gordon, a struggling songwriter who undergoes a life changing medical emergency. Ambitious and still awaiting his big break, Gordon begrudgingly composes songs for Mr. Bungee, a popular children’s television character, when he collapses during a meeting with his agent and awakens in the hospital, surrounded by his mother, hospital staff and his partner, Roger. Though Gordon’s outlook on life is in need of change, Roger’s unwavering love and loyalty sees him through his ordeal and reminds us that gay couples have some of the most loving and committed relationships around. While Gordon Lies hallucinating in the hospital and undergoing various tests, Mr. Bungee manifests as a spectral green frog who taunts him about his mediocre career, feeding off his growing doubts about his artistic ability. As medical emergency turns to near death experience, Gordon, his family and his friends are forced to grapple with how they process loss. A story about a man who learns to appreciate the life he has, rather than the life he thinks he deserves.
